pcmanfm should use git for file operations if containing folder is part of a git repository

[zapyon]

I suggest adding the following feature:

For file operations like mv and rm pcmanfm should check if the current directory is part of a git repository. If this is the case the operations should be carried out using the respective git commands so as not to break file management within the repository.

This would be extremely useful as pcmanfm does not show the user that the current directory is part of a git repository. On second thought: may be this should be the first step: show that you are moving within a git repo.

Kind regards

Andreas

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.

`pcmanfm` used GTK2 libs so is mostly seen as depreciated.

Please note `pcmanfm` was used by Lubuntu up to and including Lubuntu 18.04 LTS, being replaced by `pcmanfm-qt` for later releases. The main developer PCman (https://github.com/PCMan) now works on `pcmanfm-qt` so the chance of action on this is rather limited.

If you mean the now `pcmanfm-qt` package, you've filed against a legacy package.
